Sewin Tutorial: DIY cocoon wrap for newborn photos

by

Donya from Keeps Me In Stitches wanted a cocoon wrap for her soon-to-arrive baby girl’s newborn pictures, but didn’t want to spend the $$ to buy one.  Instead, she used ruffle fabric to make one herself.  Genius!  She shares a tutorial telling how she did it.   As baby is still in the womb, there are no pictures of her in the little ruffled cocoon (though Donya promises to post them to her blog as soon as baby arrives and has her photo session).  Get the tutorial.

Easy Cosmetics Bag Sewing Pattern

The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!

It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.

Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
